National Run a Mile Day is set for May 6-8.

What 4 and a half months off of running has taught me

• That there is actually a lazy girl trapped inside me just dying to get out and do nothing.
• That the 30 minutes between 4:30am and 5:00am make a world of difference to my beauty sleep.
• It may take me 6 plus months to get back up to running spead

I am Back Baby!

My first run, well run/walk, in 4 1/2 months. 3.10 miles in 40 minutes and it felt great!

Wake Me When Its Time To Go

I am doing everything I can to stay awake at work. I am trying to cut caffeine out my diet to help with the digestive problems. Sweet Jesus, I must have been living powered by caffeine. Where's my jammies, I need a nap.

Or it could be a combination of no caffeine and a food combining mixup.

Day 30

That's right today's my last Shred workout. 30 stinkin days straight.

By the way, the scale said 130.4 this morning.

On a completely unrelated note - I am looking into food combining a la Suzanne Somers because I am experiencing some digestive problems lately...I'll let you know how it goes.

132.9

Are you kidding me? If you listen closely, you can still hear me screaming!

Day 24

I started level 3 on day 20. In some ways I think it's easier than level 1 and 2 but it puts more stress on my injury.

I am not sure what I'll do after day 30, probably finally take Penny's advice and try some pilates.

Only 6 more days (smile)

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

Happy Mardi Gras! Indulge!

Happy Valentines Day

129.2

I think it has less to do with the 30 Day Shred and more to do with a little bit of personal drama that's taken away my appetite. Either way, I hope it sticks. 2 days ago the scale said 134.5

Half Way

 Day 15. Half way. See that "Lose  Up To 20 Pounds in 30 Days" Well I am not even half way, I am not even a quarter of the way or an 1/8 of the way for that matter. I am wondering if you can actually do 30 days and just maintain. What a sad thought...

30 Day Shred - Level 2

     (Silence)


I am following my mom's advice - If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all...

Sugar Solution

If there was a drug for sugar addicts as there is a drug for alcohol dependecy I think I'd be slim.

I in no way mean to make light of alcohol problems. I 've known too many people with them. But I have to think there's something similar to the desire to  want a drink and my urge and desire I have to get home and have a no bake cookie that's waiting for me in the pantry.

On a lighter tone, I completed Day 8 of the 30 Day Shred yesterday.

132.2

I week of Shred done! It's still painful and I am still doing girl push-ups but I may try to tackle level 2 at about day 10.

Pretend

I had to resort to the cafeteria today because I didn't plan ahead.The fish looked "ify" and there's nothing worse than ify fish so I went with the vegetable plate. I am pretending it's the hamburger and french fries that I really wanted...
